Trump’s son drew attention to American machine guns in the hands of Palestinians

The son of former US President Donald Trump, Donald, drew attention to American-made M4 assault rifles in the hands of Palestinians. He announced this on the social network X (formerly Twitter).

“They look more like American M4s than the regular AK-47s we are used to seeing in the Middle East,” he wrote, commenting on a Sky News video showing Palestinians firing machine guns into the air.

Trump Jr. also questioned whether the guns could be among the 70,000 automatic machine guns Washington left behind for the Taliban when it abandoned its positions in Afghanistan.

October 8 US Secretary of State Antony Blinken reportedthat Washington is considering Israeli requests for additional military assistance. He clarified that details may appear during the day. The White House later reported that the U.S. will send Additional assistance to Israel in connection with the attack by the Palestinian radical organization Hamas.

On the morning of October 7, the Palestinian group Hamas began military operations against Israel. The militants attacked the army’s border units and freely entered Israeli populated areas, where they captured an unknown number of hostages, both military and civilian. The Israeli Army (IDF) responded by launching Operation Iron Swords, and the Israeli government announced that the country had entered a state of war.

According to The Times of Israel, as a result of an attack by the Palestinian group Hamas on Israel died over 700 citizens of the country. In Palestine, more than 370 deaths were reported, with about 2,200 injured.

Israeli Ambassador to Moscow Alexander Ben Zvi stated that Hamas kidnapped a large number of people during the attack on Israel, including Russian citizens. However, there were no reports of Russians among the hostages.
